There are also technologies that web designers can use when they are making websites, to make sure that their sites work for people with disabilities. It is often better for web designers to use these to make their sites work for people with intellectual disabilities, rather than relying on people with intellectual disabilities being able to use assistive technologies.

It is not always easy to get hold of these assistive technologies. People with disabilities often use these technologies at school. But once they leave school, they can no longer access them.

The types of technologies include:

• Switches
• Touchscreens
• Screen Readers and Text Helpers
• Text-to-Speech Applications
